Stars fall and locust trees grow

"I guess it's because of the pills?!"

A disciple said in a serious tone, "He is our sect master's biological son. He has been spoiled since he was young. How could he practice hard every day like us? So, naturally, he has to rely on those elixirs."

"No wonder..." another disciple said, "There is clearly a realm difference between the two, but there is no sign of suppression at all."

"I now understand why Manager Zhou asked us to lay a solid foundation..."

"..."

The discussion among the outer courtyard disciples reached Li Zhang's ears word for word.

Direct disciples like him and Li Han have basically been in the inner courtyard since birth, and even the sect's swordsmanship is taught personally by the sect master or elders.

However, the two brothers were used to cheating in their daily practice, and in order to improve their realm as quickly as possible, they did take a lot of elixirs. So, naturally, they could not be compared with Li Chi, who relied on his own strength to practice steadily.

Their sect leader and father Li Shi usually wouldn't allow the two of them to mess with those inner court disciples who were not direct relatives, and Li Zhang was a person who felt uncomfortable if he didn't pretend. Therefore, they brothers would sneak into the outer court from time to time to bully these ordinary or new disciples to make their presence felt.

Speaking of which, Li Zhang always felt that he had a strong connection with that dumb little loser, and he would run into him almost every time he went out.

At first, this dumb good-for-nothing was beaten up by him because he blocked his way.

When they met again later, he was in a playful mood again, so he asked Li Han to take off his shirt, and then he used his sword to write the word "waste" on his back.

This time when he came to the outer courtyard, Li Zhang wanted to use his old tricks to have some fun, but he didn't expect that this dumb waste would dare to resist him with a sword, so he had to teach him a lesson.

Li Zhang was originally in a very good mood seeing the other party being tortured by him, but once again he did not expect that Li Chi, a Cheng Yaojin, would suddenly appear in the middle of the process.

Moreover, the other party's realm was obviously lower than his own, but he was always restrained by the other party. Especially when he heard the pointing and criticizing of the disciples around him, he felt even more embarrassed.

So, he took advantage of Li Chi's attack to retreat a few steps, then turned around and went straight to the disciples who had just spoken.

Fortunately, those disciples had all been trained before, and when they saw Li Zhang's murderous look, they immediately scattered.

"Despicable! Dirty! Shameless!"

At the same time, Li Chi cursed three times, and then immediately chased after Li Zhang, preparing to stab him in the back.

Don’t you like scratching people’s backs? Today, I will let you experience the feeling of being scratched on the back.

Here, Li Zhang saw that his attack on the onlookers missed, and felt the sword energy coming from behind, so he immediately turned around to resist.

"when……"

The sword energy generated by the collision of the two swords rippled the corners of their clothes. For a moment, they were almost evenly matched, with no one better than the other.

"Hey?! You reacted pretty quickly!" Li Chi chuckled and sneered again, "You direct descendants have taken up all the cultivation resources of the sect, but you have only produced a piece of trash like you?!"

"A disciple from Xuangu realm can't even beat me from mortal realm! You have lost face for the sect leader, haven't you?!"

"Bullshit!" Li Zhang was so irritated that he narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "You little bastard! I think you are looking for death!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Li Chi quickly drew back the sword, and then swung out several more quick sword strikes, still continuing to provoke the other party with his words, "However, if your swordsmanship could be as powerful as your mouth, you wouldn't have been beaten to the point of screaming by me!"

"..."

Just as the two were engaged in a fierce battle of words and limbs, an extremely majestic roar suddenly came from above the martial arts arena: "What are you doing making so much noise here?! Don't you have anything to do?!"

"All the onlookers, disperse immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Wei suddenly appeared beside the two of them.

He extended his index finger and tapped Li Chi and Li Zhang's elbows.

The two men only felt their elbows go numb, and the swords in their hands fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"The sect has clearly stipulated that inner courtyard disciples are not allowed to enter or leave the inner courtyard without official business, so..."

Wei Jin stroked his goatee, then turned around, looked at Li Zhang and Li Han, and said coldly: "How did you two get to the outer courtyard?!"

Li Zhang was very upset when he saw his good thing being interrupted. He pinched his wrist and looked at Wei Jin fiercely, "Wei! You are just a manager of the outer courtyard. What qualifications do you have to take care of our affairs!"

Wei Jin snorted coldly, "I don't care whose sons you are! Or what your status is! But as long as you come to the outer courtyard, you must obey my discipline!"

"I advise you two brothers to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you according to the sect rules!"

"You dare?!" Li Zhang didn't take Wei Jin seriously at all and continued to make a threatening move, but was stopped by Li Han.

"Third brother! Forget it!" He pulled Li Zhang's sleeve and whispered, "We ran away secretly in the first place. If this incident gets to father, we will definitely be put in solitary confinement again."

"Besides, although Wei Jin is only the manager of the outer courtyard, he is the last disciple of our ancestor and the master of my second sister. If my second sister knew that you contradicted him here today, we would definitely get beaten up when we go back!"

Speaking of his second sister Li Shuang, Li Zhang immediately lost his temper and became depressed.

Li Shi has two daughters and two sons, namely Li Xue, Li Shuang, Li Zhang and Li Han. Among them, the one with the highest cultivation talent is the second sister Li Shuang.

Different from the eldest sister Li Xue who dotes on her two younger brothers, Li Shuang is very similar to her master Wei Jin in personality, equally strict, cold and unkind.

Whenever Li Zhang and Li Han did something wrong, she would strictly follow the sect rules to deal with them, and sometimes even punish them personally. Therefore, Li Zhang and Li Han were always afraid of their elder sister who had the final say.

Thinking of the possible consequences if his second sister knew about this, Li Zhang took a few deep breaths, then looked at the three Li Chis behind Wei Jin and said fiercely: "I will let you go today, and we will wait and see what happens later!"

Li Chi was too lazy to pay attention to him and just curled his lips, "Goodbye!"

Seeing the two brothers Li Zhang and Li Han leave reluctantly, Wei Jin remained silent for a moment with a cold face, then turned around to look at Li Chi and the other two.

"Private fighting is prohibited in the Outer Court. If it happens again, all of you will be put in solitary confinement!"
